Bob Weir & Ratdog

Leading up to Thursdays announcement of Ratdog as the Mountain Jam Festival closer on Sunday night, there was much speculation as to what artist(s) would take that coveted position. The chatter around the web mostly centered around a possible return of Phil & Friends or an appearance of The Allman Brothers band.
While those are obvious possibilities and would have been fantastic choices, I am very excited about the addition of Bob Weir into the Mountain Jam mix.

As one of the core musical icons that gave birth to the jam band genre, Weir will put his own stamp on this years festival. Those in attendance on the mountain side will not be disappointed. From what I have heard, Sundays artist line-up start to finish is just spectacular and will offer up something special for everyone. The promise of juicy guest sit-ins of multiple musical icons will undoubtedly be on the menu. Ratdog has been playing some of their best shows ever of late. This could prove to be one of their best ever on the mountain under the stars.

"Some folks trust to reason, others trust to might
I don't trust to nothing, but I know it come out right"
